What We Deliver
Six Pillars of Colombia Medical Devices Intelligence
Our six interconnected pillars cover every dimension of the INVIMA registration journey, from regulatory strategy through post-market surveillance, giving medical devices companies a complete foundation for successful Colombia market entry.
01
Regulatory Strategy and Classification
We analyze your device against Colombia's Decree 4725 of 2005 and INVIMA's risk classification framework to determine the correct risk class — I, IIA, IIB, or III — and the appropriate registration pathway. Accurate classification from the outset prevents costly rework and delays. Our team maps international equivalencies including FDA 510(k) and CE Mark to accelerate the technical file preparation.

How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-phase engagement moves your medical device from initial scoping through INVIMA submission and beyond, delivering clear milestones and actionable outputs at every stage.
Step 1 · Day 1-3
Intake and Regulatory Scoping
We begin with a structured intake session to understand your device, its intended use, existing international approvals, and your commercial timeline. Our regulatory team performs an initial classification review under Decree 4725 and identifies the correct registration pathway. You receive a scoping memo outlining the registration route, estimated timeline, and document requirements within 72 hours.
Taevas Approach
The scoping memo includes a checklist of required technical documents, an assessment of whether existing FDA or CE Mark documentation can be leveraged, identification of any mandatory in-country testing requirements, and a preliminary timeline with key milestones. This document becomes the project charter for the entire engagement.

Largest Market in the Andean Region
Colombia is the third-largest medical devices market in Latin America and the largest in the Andean Community, driven by a population of over 51 million and a rapidly expanding middle class with growing healthcare demand. Public healthcare spending has increased steadily following reforms to the General System of Social Security in Health, creating significant procurement opportunities for registered device manufacturers.
INVIMA Modernization and Digital Submission
INVIMA has invested substantially in its SIREM digital submission platform and streamlined its technical review processes for medical devices, reducing administrative bottlenecks for well-prepared dossiers. The regulator has also issued updated guidance aligning Colombian requirements more closely with IMDRF frameworks, which benefits manufacturers holding FDA clearance or CE Mark by enabling greater document reuse.
Import Dependency Creates Entry Opportunity
Colombia imports approximately 85 percent of its medical devices, primarily from the United States, Germany, and China, meaning the market is structurally open to international manufacturers. The absence of significant domestic manufacturing competition in most device categories means that foreign companies with INVIMA registration can capture market share relatively quickly through established distributor networks.
Digital Health and High-Tech Device Growth
Demand for diagnostic imaging equipment, minimally invasive surgical devices, point-of-care diagnostics, and digital health technologies is growing faster than the overall market, fueled by hospital infrastructure investment in major cities including Bogota, Medellin, Cali, and Barranquilla. INVIMA has developed specific guidance for software as a medical device (SaMD), creating a defined pathway for digital health product registration.

Market Entry Intelligence Brief
A targeted market intelligence brief covering the Colombian medical devices competitive landscape, key hospital and clinic procurement networks, public sector purchasing channels through SECCOP, and priority distribution partner profiles for your device category.
Launch Readiness and Compliance Handover
A structured handover package delivered upon certificate issuance, including the authenticated INVIMA registration certificate, a labeling compliance checklist for Colombian market packaging, and a post-registration compliance calendar with all key renewal and reporting dates.
Who This Is For
Built for These Situations
Market Entry
Foreign Manufacturer Entering Colombia for the First Time
Your device is approved in the US or EU and you are ready to expand into Latin America. Colombia is your priority market, but you have no local presence, no established regulatory contacts, and limited familiarity with INVIMA's requirements and processes. You need a partner who can manage the entire registration from classification through certificate issuance while you focus on your commercial strategy.
Outcome
You receive a fully managed INVIMA registration, a compliant local representative structure, and a market-ready compliance program — without building an in-house regulatory team in Colombia.
